The 28-year-old was arrested and charged with six counts of murder, unlawful possession of a firearm, and unlawful possession of ammunition.
He appeared in the Umlazi Magistrate’s Court on Monday where he abandoned bail and his case was remanded to August.
The man has been on the police’s wanted list since 2024 when he and an accomplice allegedly shot and killed six men in what is believed to have been a revenge attack.
Police spokesperson Robert Netshiunda said, “Investigations uncovered that the killings were revenge-motivated. It is reported that the deceased victims, who were both Xhosa speaking, had allegedly fought with Swati nationals who resided in the same area. Melusi Dlamini, a 28-year-old Swati national, was arrested at Krugersdorp in Gauteng.”
